Pretzels with Mars bar sauce

April 9, 2022

My favourite pretzel will always be brushed with butter and dipped in cinnamon sugar, but here I offer up a ridiculous chocolate caramel sauce made from melted Mars Bars.My favourite pretzel will always be brushed with butter and dipped in cinnamon sugar, but here I offer up a ridiculous chocolate caramel sauce made from melted Mars Bars.

Carrot Cakes

March 21, 2016

I’ve wanted to share these mini carrot cakes with you for a while. It’s a failsafe recipe and they are very moist and moreish, especially with the tangy cream cheese frosting.
